Recruit Picks South Carolina Because ‘You Have To Try To Fail’ Classes There
I suppose it’s good news for this kid that the classes are — allegedly — so easy at the University of South Carolina that he’d “have to try to fail” them, because if I didn’t know any better, I’d say Arden Key isn’t the ripest apple in the orchard. Here’s what the class of 2015 Georgia high school defensive end said about his commitment to the Gamecocks:
“The academic part, it’s like you have to try to fail,” Key told Palmetto Sports.
No one’s confusing USCe with Harvard or anything, but to throw their academics under the bus like that within earshot of anyone other than your boys, much less someone who gets paid to write stuff and make it public, is just bad, bad form.
Luckily for Key, it’s golf season, meaning Coach Spurrier is currently living the high life, probably at Pebble Beach or Shinnecock and not caring about a thing in the world other than how to combat his perpetual fade, where to grab a drink locally, and his next golfing destination. Plus, this kid’s about two years away from setting foot on campus. He’s got time to make up for it.
But damn, son.

Can’t wait to see what his GPA’s like after the first semester.

12 years ago at 12:55 pm^
12 years ago at 2:31 pmClasses? We talkin’ about classes?
12 years ago at 9:47 pm^Not the game, NOT THE GAME! We talkin’ bout CLASSES man
12 years ago at 6:13 amHow great would it be if this kid doesn’t pass NCAA clearinghouse?
12 years ago at 9:49 pmnot called Clearinghouse anymore, gramps.
12 years ago at 10:14 pm^^Stick to your traditions old sport. ^That’s like calling the Sears Tower the Wilis Tower. And that ain’t right.
12 years ago at 5:27 pmMust be credible coming from a junior in high school
12 years ago at 9:50 pmI still hold a grudge against the OBC from his jorts days, but dammit if I don’t respect that man.
12 years ago at 9:52 pmThis is the first, and last time we’ll ever hear about this kid.
12 years ago at 9:57 pmThis is fucking incredible
12 years ago at 9:57 pmAgreed. I like this a lot.
12 years ago at 11:54 pmI wonder how quickly the University will take his scholarship away.
12 years ago at 10:02 pmIf he picked South Carolina then he’s probably already riding the short bus to school, right now. We wouldn’t want to have too much change when he got to college now would we?
12 years ago at 12:08 amon the short bus, every row is in the back so he’ll fit right in!
12 years ago at 5:21 pmWow, that racism came out of nowhere.
Full disclosure: I still laughed.
12 years ago at 11:43 pmWell at least the kid had the balls (or more likely the kind of honesty that springs from astounding stupidity) to say what a lot of other college athletes are thinking.
